I'd like to find two 165-170 identical racing snowboard to mount them with ski binding and see what happens.

or you could drill snowboard bindings onto the k2 pontoons or whatever the fattest skis are. it would be a super narrow snowboard, that would be cool.

haha nice. ive been thinking about that for a while but it seems like you would have to have a wide ass stance for the boards not too overlap

Actually that is not true. The fat ski that is actually a monoboard is the Duret (or however you spell it). It's French and the company makes a lot of monoboards that are suspicioulsy exactly the same dimensions as that ski. They Fatypus is made from scratch, you can see by the way it is shaped (monoboards are usually pointy at the front).

What do you say to that honestly. "I definitely don't want you getting hurt this season"... uh nice props? I don't know... anyways... I think you'd die. Try it out anyways.

Sounds like a sick idea, I've actually wanted to try this for awhile now, I think it would be hella interesting to see how they'd work out. My boss has a Rossi snowboard in our shop that he rides maybe once or twice a year...it's called the Undertaker, and it's a 195 swallowtail powder board, two of those would be ridiculous to try as skis. I've also thought about buying the longest wakeboard I could find and mounting snowboard bindings to it, cause wakeboards have a rocker style reverse camber, and are super fat... obviously it would be only for trying out in deep pow, but I think it'd be cool.

oh my... Ced, 150 underfoot isn't big enough? You would float like no other.

Go to ebay and under snowboards just click on the sort by length, and then on the 170> thing, there are some boards in there that would work nicely.

I was thinking some race boards might be the best.. they're way narrower than other snowboards. Probly way too stiff though.

150 looks too fat, I mean you want to sink a little, or else you will just float all the time and it wont feel as soft.
